how deep are the sink holes in wellston ohio

I couldn’t verify a specific sinkhole depth for Wellston, Ohio from the available information, but Ohio sinkholes can vary a lot depending on the site and cause. In general, sinkholes in Ohio are often shallow-to-moderate in depth, though some can be much deeper; one Ohio geology source notes that sinkholes are widespread in the state and that Wellston has had mine- subsidence problems, which can create abrupt ground collapse features.

What that means for Wellston

Wellston is especially associated with mine subsidence , not just classic limestone sinkholes. Ohio’s geology materials explain that these collapses can be sudden and that the vertical drop is related to the underground void and local ground conditions.

If you mean a specific hole

If you’re asking about one particular sinkhole in Wellston, the depth would need to be checked in a local report, city notice, or news story for that exact location. If you want, I can help you narrow it down by street, neighborhood, or the article you saw.
